Summer is Pouring on the Heat

amongst the hot days

there is water

cooling

cleansing

refreshing 

waters

large vistas 

to dream into

alpine waters dancing down the mountains

rivers singing 

with all their might

lovely forget me nots

reminding us of grace and beauty

 

new life entering our world

prancing about our meadows

napping in the shade

~

wishing you sweet summer (some of you; winter) days

and 

nights

Summer Solstice ~

beautiful Summer is upon us

time to hike into the mountains

to drink aqua waters with our eyes

and spirits

in the high mountains

glacier lilies still bloom

(this one unique with a short stem, rests gently on it's leaves)

along the trails

waterfalls to cool and refresh by

a time of color

vibrant under creek waters

Montana stones, eye candy

that feeds our hearts

 winged ones are busy as can be

summer is a busy time

of growth

eating

mating

fruiting

it must all happen before the season once again changes

 

sitting at the feet of mountains

like sitting with a holy being

summer is a grand time of celebrating life

~

lovely Solstice to you and yours

whether it be summer or winter in your neck of the woods

Many Glacier, Montana

on a breeze

the high mountains

called to me

i felt it in my heart

and in my blood

after a long winter 

wandering dirt roads, hiking trails and camping

is essential

the Eastern Rockies are wild and gorgeous

yet tenderness can be found:

photos are the trail to Iceberg Lake

are the Rockies now calling your name?

Montana Spring

Color

the world is dressed in color

and light

color and magical light

I wish I could photograph the scents of the forest for you:

thick, sweet, spirit altering 

mix of 

trees flowers earth

some plants are fruiting

some are just beginning to rise through the earth

I sat close to this owl at sunset the other night

until it spotted it's meal and dove into the grassy meadow

this scene is So Montana!
